This policy brief draws a historical link to geographic disparities in education outcomes in Sierra Leone. The gap in outcomes between urban and rural areas has a colonial root that persists today. Undoing this dynamic requires a radical approach to education in the country.
This DSTI policy brief addresses biases that may result from variation in access to the local courts by geo-spatially mapping all local court locations to determine if they are optimally located and whether the distribution gave most people the chance to access them. We also collected information on the cost of accessing each of these courts from the record books, and the length of time to resolve cases in these courts (recall information from court clerks).
